The keyword to qualify my arrival in Quito is “synchronization”! The Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference (ESTC) takes place each year in a different country, and this was by chance this year in Ecuador, and exactly at the dates to which I was entering the country. It’s, then, the opportunity to come together again with my canadian ex-professor from La Rochelle Business School of Tourism D’Arcy Dornan who is part of the organization and thanks to whom I join the team for a few days as a volunteer. I came together as well with my ecuadorian friend Sabina who used to be my colleague at Sofitel Hotel in Lyon, France, a few years ago. I’m warmly welcomed at her dad house in Quito during three studious weeks!

I did also a presentation about my Hospitality Tour to the students in tourism of the UDLA university in Quito.
